CORE POWER and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority (PCCA) have signed a Memorandum of Collaboration to conduct a maritime nuclear readiness study at the port. The study aims to examine the potential for the port to become a location for a floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) and a gateway for nuclear-powered commercial ships. The research will assess technical, regulatory, operational, and commercial requirements for both pathways, providing an evidence base for the port to consider future investments, industry, and job creation.
Jeff Pollack, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer of the PCCA, emphasized the importance of the collaboration in keeping the region competitive for future energy and trade opportunities.
